Warp skill: Teleports to an enemy up to 30 yards away and gives the pet a 50% chance to avoid the next melee attack. Lasts 4 sec.

These are great farming for skinning as there are a ton of them and respawn rate is quick.

They drop scraps, knothide and fel hide which sell good in AH and the stacks of claws and fangs sell to vendors for 2g.

Also they have invisibility so it helps to have someone like a warlock buff you.

Keep an eye out for Swiftwing Shredders cause they patrol the area.

Throw in a sombrero and a chinchilla, invite the neighbors and go to town. ^_^

These are absolutely fabulous if you're looking for Fel Hides, for example if you want to make the new 28-slot leatherworking bags. I tried warp hunters and whatnot in Terokkar, drop rate for hides was very bad, lots of other types of mobs walking about and lots of running and chasing the beasties all over the place due to them being spaced so far apart basically.

Then I went here, to mana forge duro, and found heaven. The place is basically swarming with the beasties! If you can grind level 68-ish mobs easily, then there's no doubt this is a great place for both hides and regular leather.

Killing 40 of these I managed 2 Fel Hides. They might be close, but they're a waste of arrows as a hunter with such a crap drop rate.

Their Warp ability will work across gaps, tiers, and will even work while they are rooted (But will still be ensnared when they reach their target), unlike the Dash ability which can be stopped in it's tracks.

This one ability alone makes it a nightmare for druids to escape from, and will reduce their drinking time to a minimum.

I highly recommend this pet for aspiring Arena Hunters, and suggest training it in the highest or second highest ranks of Nature & Frost resistance, as well as Rank 4 or 5 Greater Stamina, making sure to pick up Cobra Reflexes & Avoidance.

If you are farming these for the warped flesh to make burgers, imho the higher lvl ones in Netherstorm seem to have just as hi if not better drop rate.

Me and a guild mate were just playing with Warp:

Can't be used out of line of sight

Seems effective against other hunters, since you can bypass traps

On heavy AoE boss fights (Prince for Example) your have a bit more sustained DPS from your pet if your BM (In theory, since even with Dash it takes a second or 2 extra to get to your target)

Will not warp back to you (Yes I'm aware it says to your enemy in the tooltip, my guild mate thought it might be able to)

Even out of range the Warp Stalker will get into range and warp to your opponent

Will not get the Warp Stalker out of CC effects (Traps, Fears, etc)

Will not auto-cast it if your opponent is turning around

May sometimes waste it if your target is charging you instead of just simply running up to the target

Will not auto-cast if a target is near you (Unknown range, guessing about 5 yards) (So no anti-rogue)

Warp Salkers will warp back after a fear/cc ability

All in all I think this is one of the cooler pet talents in BC so far. I'm gonna change one of my cats to my pvp and give my warp stalker a chance to do instances.

I think it is worth noting, to those interested in taming this beast, that its tail has a rust (red-orange-brown) color on it. Personally, I think this detracts from the overall look of the pet: I really like the teal color, but the tail is what we hunters will see the most of. I don't know why they threw this color in - it would make sense if it were a purple stripe like the ones on its legs, but alas it's a bloody streak.
